But a small light at the end of the tunnel. When I run a backup of a dir like about 200MB it seems to work. Even the ftp does work then. But when I try to make a backup of dirs having GBs it doesn’t even start.

Hope this is a RC issue… This was the reason I bought it for. Doing backups from my servers and copy away via ftp.

Backups didn’t even start. How can I check if the scheduler is working? Is the scheduler just working if I am logged in? As soon as I logged in PA started.

I also have another problem. PA stops with an error message of no space left or file access forbidden. There is more than enough space left on the device. I also tried to use another disk. Same issue here.

There is still 300GB left an

try using zip instead of 7zip…

as to the task scheduler - edit the task, and make sure your username and password is entered in the task scheduler properly - that is the only way task will start without you logged in (i assume that is the issue)…
